How hard to learn C#.Net

Question

I am proficient in C++ ( object, polymorphism, inheritance, pointers).
and that i have worked in VBA, VC++ before.

Is C#.NET syntax very different from the above languages?

Conceptual wise, I know OPP language are similar, I just need to know SYNTAX wise difficulty.

Can anyone give me a rough estimate, time needed to adopt the language (be able to write routines and such).

Also, can anyone point me to a good C#.NET tutorial (So I don't end up looking through bunch of tutorial to determine which ones are good)?


Thanks for you help
